which blade is for dice,fries,slices im a bit confused?

The center blade part rotates to different positions so one position is for slices and another is for small dicing/shredding, and one larger for fries. But it really did not work very well and that's why I returned mine.

flicks base should read flicks blade. Re self defense, the manufacturer goes to some length to say knife is for slicing, not stabbing. Suspect it'd do one as well as the other.

You would have to cut whatever you are trying to dice without going all the way through and then use the Chef's Envy to dice it. For example, if you are trying to dice an onion, make parallel cuts in the onion but don't cut all the way through so that it stays together. Then place it on the Chef's Envy blade with the cuts going in the opposite direction so that it will dice when you run it through. Does that make any sense?

The slicing disc that's included with the processor is 4mm which will produce slices a little thicker than 1/8 inch. There is a 3mm slicing blade that makes slices that are a bit shy of 1/8". The smallest slicing disc for this model is 2mm which of course will make slices thinner than 1/8". Both discs are sold separately. The thickest blade is the 6mm that makes 1/4" slices. It is also sold separately. The blades are super sharp so slicing is a breeze. However, depending upon the size of the potato, assuming you mean potato chips, you may have to cut the potatoes to fit inside the feed tube so you may wind up with half moon slices instead of round slices.

Blades: 1) Fine Grater (extremely fine grating/shredding, very small pieces, e.g. great if you want cheese thoroughly integrated without melting, or want nuts without chunks); 2) Julienne (long, thin slices for salads, etc., e.g. great for cucumbers and carrots in coleslaw); 3) Thick Slicer (6mm thick slices, e.g. great for appetizers, such as carrots and other veggies for dipping). Yes, this set is definitely worth the money.

Yes, this Weston French Fry cutter comes with the 3/8" blade. You can also buy other size blades 1/4" and 1/2" if you want thinner or thicker fries.

If you have the regular model, you have to make cuts on the item being sliced and run the through the V-slicer against those cuts. In other words, if you were trying to cube a potato, make 3-4 long cuts on the end of the potato, and make sure the cuts are going lengthwise in the holder so that the blades will be cutting across the cuts. I hope that makes sense.

With the different blades, you get different types of cuts- also I think it's much safer than my mandolin. With a food processor, you don't get the long noodle like cuts as you do with the spirializer. I have all three but am using the spirializer most often.

It neither slices, dices nor shreds. It's only a high speed food chopper. Also, no discs are available. It is what is, not a food processor in the real sense.

I did a search on the KitchenAid web site and I didn't see a dicing attachment. I can envision what a blade for dicing might look like, but the problem would be that you would need a separate blade for every different size dice you might want to use. The blade speed would also have to be slow enough that you would get a consistent size. The concept may be under research, but I don't know of anyone offering such a blade.

utility knifes blades are pretty much a standard size, so amazon or any hardware store. I am a big fan of the Lenox 20351-GOLD50D Gold Titanium-Edge. Pricey but they last longer than cheaper refills. So if you cut alot check out the lenox ones, if not then any replacement utility knife blade.

It comes with three cutters. One is 6mm dice, one is 9mm dice and one is 6mm slice. I haven't used the slice cutter but I don't think it would do french fries. Great product, would buy again.

No. It's a straight fry cutter only. There are two sizes of blades included for thick and thin fries. I wouldn't recommend buying this to cut potatoes as it isn't strong enough.

The disc and the blade are together permanently, and snap onto a detachable stem. If you need different blades you must buy the whole disc for each new blade. There is a blade which comes with the food processor that is not in disc form, which is used to chop or mix ingredients inside the "bowl". That blade which fits inside the "bowl" does not fit in this storage unit. This storage unit will only hold three disc/blades. For example, you can put into this storage container a french fry blade/disc, and a parmesan cheese grader blade/disc, and a julienne blade/disc, or any three blade/discs, slicers of different widths or graders. If you want a storage unit that holds both the "bowl" blade and three disc/blades, as well as the detachable stem, then look for "BLADE and DISC Holder for 7, 11, and 14-cup Food Processors Item #CUI BDH-2". I hope this is helpful for you. Sincerely, Elisabetta

The MS-SS mandolin slicer cuts, slices, juliennes, and waffle cuts. These cuts are easy and simple because all blades are built-in and a rotary knob selects the cuts or thickness you want. I make perfect tomato and onion slices, crinkle cut my pickles, shred my lettuce and pile them onto the best homemade hamburger. And of course, the burger is not complete without those 5 inch French fry cuts. Not having to handle multiple blades is a plus for any mandolin slicer. "Always use your holder cup when possible."

There are three blade platforms. Just to give you an idea, one platform is great for slicing strawberries. One platform is good for chopping veggies for omelets. The third platform is good for salads. I hope this information helps you.
